This post is a repost from the archives; it was originally published on June 1, 2014. I love chicken salad sandwiches! Growing up, my mom would often make a big container of it on Sunday evenings for my siblings and I to eat for lunch throughout the week. I’ve always made chicken salad with mayonnaise, and though [Continue Reading…]

As I shared in my Instagram post yesterday, Riley and I had a just-us one-week-early Thanksgiving dinner last night. Why? Because I absolutely love to cook and we wanted some Thanksgiving leftovers of our own–but mostly because we just have so much to be thankful for this year. Why not celebrate with a delicious meal twice? We enjoyed it so [Continue Reading…]

I was thrilled to get married for many reasons, but one major reason was that I could not wait to have someone to cook for! I absolutely love to cook (always have), but when I was single and living alone, I seldom put forth the effort to make homemade meals knowing that I’d end up having to [Continue Reading…]

If you follow me on Instagram, then you know that I love to cook! (Check out #blairblogscooks!) Yes, I am one of those people who over-shares photos of her meals! I’ve always really, really loved cooking and baking. My parents entertained quite a bit when my siblings and I were growing up and I have [Continue Reading…]

After posting this photo on Instagram (and Facebook) a few days ago, I had a few people ask me to write a blog post about how to make beautiful French macarons…so here it is! French macarons (not macaroons, which are coconut cluster cookies) are notorious for being finicky and very difficult to make. I’ve made two batches [Continue Reading…]

It goes without saying that Texas is really, really hot in the summertime. I have to intentionally drink literally gallons of water every day to stay hydrated and prevent headaches, exhaustion, and heatstroke! Syrupy, sugary drinks just aren’t very appealing when the thermometer is topping 100 degrees and it’s bathing suit season. But it’s no fun [Continue Reading…]

I love cooking and baking. I joke that I’m a homemaker even though I’m unmarried and childless…what can I say, the kitchen is my domain! And although my apartment is far from complete, my kitchen is pretty rockin’ if I do say so myself. Kitchen gadgets make my heart happy. I don’t have room for [Continue Reading…]

I promised a few weeks ago in this post to write a post on how I organize my fridge. Organization is important to me in virtually every aspect of life (let’s be real…in every single aspect of life), but it’s especially important in my kitchen. Mainly because I only eat out once or twice a [Continue Reading…]

I felt like I had a fair amount of kitchen tools until I moved into my apartment and started to unpack. It went a little like this…”Oh yeah, the colander was one of my roommates’–riiight, the blender was another one’s–the baking dish wasn’t even mine?” It felt a bit like starting over. Over the past [Continue Reading…]

It’s hot outside, especially here in Texas. Drinking plain ‘ol water every day starts to get a bit boring…so I begin substituting with juice, soda, and other high-sugar, high-calorie beverages. Eek! Not good. That’s why I grabbed limes and mint at the grocery store last night so that I could make a delicious and refreshing [Continue Reading…]
